I remember playing a mod for the old Silent Hunter II (maybe Pacific Aces) - I saw a large tanker and decided to make a deck gun attack, even though it was armed..I was too lazy to submerge out of visual range and get a firing solution. I took about two shell hits from its deck gun (probably no larger than about 5") and died after I sank to crush depth with a holed pressure hull. That is exactly the sort of damage I like to see (even though it's frustrating!)
